I don't know if it's just me, but it feels like there is a huge swell of religious feeling rising up across the world. Like there is going to be some new prophet that starts a global religious movement.

None of the traditional religions are capable of addressing the insecurities that modern humans face.

It's just a gut feeling that there will be some new fanatical religious wave that covers the world. The legacy of the Enlightenment is dead because people have lost faith in the power of rational individuals to solve problems. A new world feeling is about to be born, and it will be some kind of Eastern collectivism with a kind reassuring face, that captivates the tired and afraid soul of the modern man.

I think it might be just you. I don't mean to be rude, but you shouldn't mistake trends on 4chan for the IRL. The only place i think of where religion is gaining is maybe Russia, but i don't live there and it's a state initiate so it's difficult to know just how real that resurgence is.

I guess you have a point that religions are in visible retreat across the globe

But religions don't generally build up ina gradual manner. Christianity and Islam imo exploded into becoming a global religion in a matter of decades from what seems to be nothing, because there was a niche for some new religion that existing religions couldn't fill. When a niche is made something will fill it. And I think modern society is experiencing enough self-doubt and uncertainty that it calls out for a new source of assurance.

Yeah, I feel it too. I'm sure it's in the making. Though it would be an entirely new kind of religion.

If you only look at the masses you will always be some decades behind.

Nothing is new.
